Mirage: The Secret Garden of Seigfried and Roy

    The Secret Garden of Seigfried and Roy sounds tacky in typical Las Vegas style, but it was probably one of the best things I have seen in Las Vegas.

    This attraction consists of three bottle-nosed dolphin pools, plus a collection of rare white and golden tigers. An asian elephant is also part of the group as well, and this is all set in beautiful, manicured shrubbery and flowers. The area is cleaner than any zoo that I've been in, and is actually a research station, affiliated with many major zoos around the world that the famous duo have contacted to set up breeding programs.

    What is so great about this is that you can actually get very close to the dolphins and sit on the edge of the pool, to watch them train and be exercised which you can't do at other dolphin exhibits. Often, they will do flips and turns on their own, or play, which is quite entertaining to sit back and watch.

    You also get to see what magnificent creatures the white tigers are, and do make sure you see the rare snow white tiger. Also, be careful, as they are cats -- one of them sprayed a crowd of people in front of his area, maybe getting a little revenge for himself.

    If not for the animals, go here to get a whiff of fresh air. Smoking is not allowed in the area, and we realized here how much cigarette smoke we had been exposed to in Vegas, after breathing in the clean, clean air of the Secret Garden. It's a wonderful oasis to escape the crowds and noise of Vegas.

    The entry fee is $12 per adult, and really is worth it. You can stay as long as you like.

    Mirage: Siegfried & Roy's White Tigers

    Despite the horrible accident in the Siegfried & Roy show, you can still see their beautiful white tigers at the Mirage.

    They are kept in a soundproofed glass front enclosure. I was concerned about such magnificent animals living in cages, but found out they are actually kept on a ranch, where they can roam freely outdoors. One or two are selected every few days to spend a short time on display at the Mirage. After those few days pass, it's someone else's turn. Not a bad gig, far better than a zoo!

    Although it's difficult to see such magnificent animals in captivity, for some it may be the main chance at survival that their species have going.

    Mirage: Dolphin Habitat
  • Tip Rating:
  • I was a bit skeptical about dolphins in the desert but there are 8 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

    A bit expensive for the 15 minute tour ($12.00) but that also provides admission into the Secret Garden of Siegfried and Roy where you can see rare white tigers and other endangered species.

    The dolphins live in a 2.5 million gallon saltwater tank and seem to be very connected to their trainers. There is an underwater observation tank and vistitors can watch tapes of baby dolphins who were born at the habitat.

    Hours: Week days 11-7 Week ends: 10 -7
    Secret Garden closed on Wednesdays.

    Upon entering the Mirage, your first thought will be that you've discovered a palace in a tropical jungle. It is a 3,044 room hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The casino is owned by MGM MIRAGE and the gold exterior color is from the gold used in the windows.The Mirage is connected by a free tram to Treasure Island, its sister property immediately to the north. The marquee in front of The Mirage is the largest free standing marquee in the world.

    The construction of the Mirage Hotel in 1989 ushered in a new era in Las Vegas. The Mirage Las Vegas, the first to put elegance and refined glamor to the forefront of their business, brought forth a burst of renovation that transformed Las Vegas into having the splendor that it possesses today. Having been the first to put a great deal of care into the quality of the Mirage Las Vegas, the maintainers of the Mirage work hard to keep that reputation in place. When you visit this Mirage hotel in Las Vegas, you can expect the best treatment on the strip while being submersed in grandeur and beauty.There are many notable features to the Mirage hotel, including the volcano that erupts every fifteen minutes during the night, The Siegfried and Roy Habitat for White Tigers, another Siegfried and Roy habitat that houses dolphins, lions, tigers, leopards and even a ceremonial elephant andTable games include Roulette, Pai Gow, Caribbean Stud, Craps, Roulette and more. Non-smokers can enjoy the non-smoking tables. The casino also has an array of slots and video poker machines for guests to try their luck. The Race & Sports Book at the Mirage is especially impressive, with over 10,000 square feet of modern facilities.

    Mirage: Seigfried and Roy's white tigers at the Mirage
  • Tip Rating:
  • The white tiger habitat is located along a long hallway in the Mirage Hotel. Here you can see the famous and beautiful white tigers from the former Seigfried and Roy show. The tigers roam around this area which consists of a swimming pool and cave. This is a free exhibit you can walk past on your way into or out of the Mirage.

    Mirage: White Tiger Habitat -Free
  • Tip Rating:
  • White tigers are so awesome to see in person. Yet, be prepared for crowds, because everyone wants to see them too. Have some patience and hopefully you will get to see them when they are not sleeping.

    “The open-air home of Siegfried & Roy's Royal White Tigers is available for public viewing around the clock. Siegfried & Roy have dedicated their lives to preserving these rare animals, and their efforts have helped save them from total extinction. After securing the offspring of a perfectly matched pair of these beautiful animals bequested to this country in 1958 by the Maharaja of Rewa, Siegfried & Roy established their own Royal White Tiger breeding line.” – Mirage Hotel

    The Mirage Volcano, once the free number one star attraction of the strip, took some time off for quiet time for almost a year. Now that it has been remodeled, it has been reborn into a spectacular fire show with lights, music and huge fireballs that shoot 12 feet in the air. I will tell you, you can feel the heat coming from this attraction so it is very realistic. A very awesome show that I think every one will enjoy. Make sure you get there early so you can have a good view of the show. It continues to erupt every 15 minutes until 12am.

    Mirage: Siegfried and Roy's secret garden
  • Tip Rating:
  • The garden was created as a habitat for the animals who were once part of the Seigfried and Roy show. It is a pretty impressive collection of 40 or so endangered animal species, including white lions and white tigers in a pseudo forest setting. I'm not sure if its worth the price of admission, which runs $12.00 (as of 2004), so I'll let you decide that one for yourselves.

    Admission into the secret garden also includes the dolphin habitat. This habitat is a large pool, or several connected pools rather, where Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are kept. The facility is touted as an educational and research facility, but its mostly a tourist attraction for the Mirage Hotel.
